Method

Steam the asparagus (or blanch in boiling water) for 5 minutes. Drain very well and let cool slightly.

When the asparagus is slightly cool, place it in a mixing bowl. Add the ham, cheese, and onion and stir gently. Place the mixture in the pie shell. Beat the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper together with a wire whisk or eggbeater and pour over the asparagus mixture in the pie shell.

Bake at 375ºF for 40-45 minutes or until set. Test by inserting a knife; when it comes out clean, the quiche is done.

Cut the asparagus on a diagonal to get attractive ovals. Leave the tips whole.
